Chapter 118 The Moment of Metamorphosis
"Do you think we're all blind people who can't see anything and deaf people who can't hear anything?"
"Hudson, you're not qualified to manipulate me, Gherlos, with such clumsy tactics!"
"You need to be at least a little smarter!"
After the disastrous failure of Dam Zero, Geheros realized something.
Hudson's previous promises to him, the so-called "thought imprint," were indeed very... However, it harbors malicious intentions.
What he wanted was justice and order; what Hudson could offer was not ideals, but obsession.
An ambitious person who would betray the soldiers fighting on the front lines for his own ambitions would never be a colleague on his path to order and justice.
Just like the GTI, to which he once entrusted his ideals and beliefs, fought, and was even willing to give everything, in the end, his passion was betrayed and hunted down by the GTI!
Having already suffered a great loss once from such a hypocritical fellow, Geheros would never suffer a second time!
If Hudson were to actually achieve his so-called Dark Star Project, what he would gain would not be the justice and order he envisioned, but a chaotic world manipulated by ambitious individuals!
Hudson, like Raven and Said, is his enemy!
Hudson's expression turned grim.
He stood up, turned to face the bulletproof glass, took out his asthma inhaler, took a deep breath, and calmed his breathing, which was about to become disordered due to his agitated emotions.
Today, he originally intended to use the issue of Space Station 36 to launch an attack on Demulan and force Demulan to authorize and agree to launch the Dark Star Project. However, before it even started, he was attacked by Warden Gherros.
At other times, a nobody like Geheros wouldn't even register on his radar. As a board member, shareholder, and head of efficiency at the Hafk Group, his job was to coordinate the Hafk Group's global strategy.
Let alone questioning him, Gherlos, a traitor who defected from GTI, wouldn't even catch his eye.
But things are different now.
He urgently needs to suppress Demulan, the security director who is also a senior member of the group and controls the armed forces of the Hafk Group, and to take back the space city from him, which is by no means an easy task.
Even after winning over the directors of human resources, finance, and public relations, Hudson still wasn't confident of defeating Demulan, who, after all, was a close confidant of Jacob Hafk.
To sideline Demulan, at least in Asara, he must win over board members and senior executives to suppress Demulan at board meetings, while simultaneously winning over local powerful figures in Asara, such as Geheros, the guardian of Tide Prison, and Dr. Rometheus.
But now, judging from Geheros's posture, it seems he's going to wage all-out war against me!?
Has he gone mad?
Doesn't he realize that he's just a traitor who defected to GTI, and once he's expelled by Hafk, he'll be utterly desperate, with nowhere to turn?
A normal person, in Geheros's situation, in such a power struggle, would either stay far away from Hudson, who already had the upper hand, rather than be so radical.
Hudson could only think of one possibility: that Geheros really did have a so-called "faith" and was sticking to it.
This is the only explanation.
"I'm here to say only one thing!" Geheros casually shoved aside a Hudson bodyguard who was aiming a gun at him. The force was so great that even the well-trained Hudson bodyguard couldn't help but stumble back a few steps and almost fell to the ground.
"I don't care how you wage your power struggles, but don't try to use those underhanded tactics under my control, or else..."
"The net of justice is vast, and the guilty will be punished!" Geheros uttered a harsh statement before leaving the conference room. Meanwhile, Hudson's bodyguards did not dare to stop him from leaving.
Hudson was furious, but remembering that Demulan was still by his side, he had to suppress his anger. Instead, he began to use Space Station 36 and its Hafk forces, along with those who had shared life and death with Demulan or those whom Demulan had personally promoted, as leverage to get Demulan to agree to launch Project Dark Star.
"I'd rather bear the stigma of a villain than let your ambitions taint the skies of Hafk!"
When the North Star pierced the screen, Hudson, determined to win, could no longer contain his anger.
……
The CG scene rotates, showing Dam Zero, the west gate, and the vicinity of air defense facilities.
Zhao Yu, in his guise as Said Ziaten, walked out of the administrative district, surrounded by several adjutants, stepping through the smoke of gunpowder, the remains of Hafk soldiers, and the wreckage of war machines.
Before him stood the assault infantry adjutant "Fireline" Is Gotland, accompanied by a group of Assara Guard soldiers. In addition, Zhao Yu also saw a group of GTI operators.
Haunted Claw, Dragon, Red Wolf, Bee Doctor, Uluru, Gu, Deep Blue, Shepherd, Bit, Luna.
Haunted Claw, Dragon, Red Wolf, Bee Doctor, Uluru, Gu, Deep Blue, Shepherd, Bit, Luna.
There's even "Butterfly," a new GTI operator who just joined the season and many operators haven't even gotten their hands on yet.
Apart from Silverwing, a former GTI member who was not currently affiliated with GTI, and Hayate Group operator "Swiftwind" and former Hayate Group operator "Nameless," almost all the GTI operators he used to know very well were present.
"Gotland, why are you back?"
"How is Longbow Valley now?" Upon seeing Gotland's figure, Molten Prison quickly stepped forward and asked him.
"I heard that Hafk is about to invade the dam. Sir, your situation is in grave danger. I've come back to support you," Huoxian said to Said with great enthusiasm.
"I heard? Who told you that?" Molten Prison continued to press.
"I heard it from a passing Asara Guard soldier." Although Huoxian was puzzled, he still chose to tell the truth.
"Damn it, you piece of trash! This was such an obvious diversionary tactic, and you actually fell for it!"
"You've brought all the troops back, so those four regions are back in Reis's hands, aren't they?" Yanlong looked at Huoxian and said bluntly.
"You, you dare to insult me?" Gotland was furious upon hearing this.
"So what if I scolded you?"
You idiot! I put you in charge of guarding Chang Gong Valley, and if something happens to you today, something will happen to you tomorrow.
I put you in command, and while your superior was at the front, you bastard rode off in a car! You...
And let me tell you, I got promoted, I'm higher up than you now, you know that?
Zhao Yu ignored the noisy adjutants and walked straight towards a group of fully armed GTI agents.
"Lahar, and GTI, what are you doing here?" Zhao Yu's tone was calm, revealing no emotion as he strolled towards the group of GTI operators.
"Boss, these GTI operators are here to help us fight Hafk!"
"We met them on the road, and since they were here to help, we decided to travel together." An Asara Guard soldier looked at his superior officer and quickly replied.
